Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2-phenylethyl)-2-iminopyridine (5.9 g, 0.030 mole) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (7.26 g, 0.036 mole) in 100 ml t-butanol is heated at reflux for 24 hours. The solution is cooled and concentrated in vacuo to give a solid. The solid is recrystallized from 200 ml of hexane to give 5.48 g of the title compound which sinters at 132°C and melts at 142.5°-145°C.
